== Lyrics ==
In the song Skee-Lo is wishing for a girl, but she says he is not her type. He wishes he was more like her boyfriend, taller ("like six-foot-nine") and a basketball player ("a baller"). He also wishes for a better car, specifically a '64 Impala. The lyrics also mention Crenshaw, and a signpost featuring the street name appears in the background of the music video.
